Gabriel Jesus makes Arsenal injury return as Leandro Trossard makes Premier League history
Leandro Trossard had a remarkable first half performance for Arsenal on Sunday by providing three assists, resulting in a hat-trick of assists for him.
Fulham, their opponents, seemed to have no answer to the attacking skills of the Gunners forward, leading to a comfortable 3-0 win for Arsenal.
Trossard made history in the competition by being the first player to achieve a hat-trick of assists in the first half of an away game.
Although Arsenal had a goal disallowed due to a tight VAR offside call, Gabriel managed to break the deadlock in the 21st minute by heading home a corner from Trossard.
The Gunners took advantage of their quick start to the game. Later, Trossard provided a cross that allowed Gabriel Martinelli to easily beat his marker, Antonee Robinson, and score the second goal for Arsenal.
Fulham struggled again to defend against a cross, resulting in the Gunners scoring their third goal just before halftime.
The January signing from Brighton found Odegaard at the centre of the box, and he took a touch to make room before scoring a goal for Arsenal.
In the second half, Arsenal easily maintained their lead to secure a 3-0 win, regaining their five-point lead over Man City at the top of the table. Additionally, it was great to see Gabriel Jesus back on the pitch for the first time since before the World Cup.
As a late second-half substitute, Gabriel Jesus had a one-on-one opportunity with Bernd Leno but failed to score, which fortunately did not impact the game’s outcome. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, earned his 100th victory in his managerial career at Arsenal.
